Popular Post Jay 37,045 Posted January 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2020 Quote One of the most important and impressive film scores of Danny Elfman's career, Dolores Claiborne is an often overlooked and grossly under-appreciated score from the maestro. Not only does it depart from Elfman’s characteristic style both aurally and compositionally, but it also displays Elfman’s maturity as a filmmaker and storyteller using music to define, paint, and coax a psychological narrative. Adapted from the Stephen King novel of the same name and directed by Taylor Hackford, Dolores Claiborne is a psychological dramatic film in which most of the entire movie unfolds inside the characters’ minds. Most of what is said or done on screen is a giant red herring. What you see is not always what you get. As the narrative unfolds, various pieces of the puzzle are revealed one by one and Elfman’s score is right there to cajole each perfect piece into place.

Thor 7,385 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 First of all, DOLORES CLAIBORNE is a great score and film. It's right there in intersection between the more consonant Elfman and when he was trying to be more contrapuntal. Second, the original Varese is actually fine. Presents the perfect, balanced "bleak and harsh, but also beautiful" journey before overstaying its welcome. I also owned the old promo programme back in the day , which expanded the material of the OST with some 30 minutes or so. It's not bad, but it's a TAD on the long side, given the nature of the music. I might -- just MIGHT -- have considered getting this if it was a straight commercial reissue of the 60-minute promo programme, but obviously this goes even beyond that, as is the custom these days. bruce marshall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Sommersby still gets my vote for best Elfman mid 90s drama score, but you can't go wrong listening to Claiborne either. Wonderful work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,045 Posted November 1, 2022 Author Share Posted November 1, 2022 This is perfect autumn listening! Looking at the back cover now.... Why is there a "Mackie Interrogates Pt. 1", but no Part 2 anywhere? Why is there an alternate called "Broken Glass Pt. 2 (Alternate Version)", but there is no track called "Broken Glass" anywhere? The liner notes provide no answers (they don't mention a single track or cue title) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
